Rainy Monday. 100 jobs moved and 100 customers texted before 7am.
Select the affected jobs. One click reschedules them. The next click texts every customer. Shortcut's AI dispatch handles the routing, flags the conflicts, and gets the new schedule on every crew's phone before they leave the shop.
- Select 110 jobs with a filter - reschedule and notify in two clicks
- Planning next week? Rebalance the full load across every crew and route each one optimally, in one action
- AI flags schedule problems before Monday morning does
The automations you meant to build in Service Autopilot. But actually build.
Shortcut's automation builder is a clean visual canvas - trigger, condition, action - the kind of builder you've seen in Zapier or Customer.io. If you can describe it, you can build it in ten minutes. No consultant. No Simple Growth invoice.
- Send a review request two days after every completed job - without opening a second tool
- Auto-text the customer the night before service, and flag the no-reply ones for a morning call
- Chase unpaid invoices on your schedule - day 3, day 7, day 14, then stop
Customers pay you from the text you just sent.
Job finishes. Invoice goes out. Card gets tapped. You're already on the next lawn.
- Auto-invoice fires the moment a job is marked complete
- Customer pays by card from the text - Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe
- Autopay enrollment means next month takes zero chasing
Invoice #1010
Send an estimate in two minutes flat.
Pick a template. Drop in the services. Text it. They approve from their phone while standing in the yard.
- Reusable templates + optional add-ons the customer can tick themselves
- Property measurement built in - no tape measure, no Google Earth
- One-tap approval from the customer. No PDFs. No email chains.
Get your nights back from schedules, invoices, and customer texts.
Operators using Shortcut's automations grow revenue 30% in year one — without working late or hiring help.
Average across Shortcut operators completing their first full season. Time value calculated at $65/hr owner labor. Your mileage will vary.
If you've been on Aspire or Service Autopilot long enough to notice the codebase is ancient, the price goes up every year, and every useful feature is a paid add-on - Shortcut is why operators switch.
Everything in the box. No surprises.
14 days free. No credit card. Keep every feature during your trial.
The typical multi-crew operator on our competitors pays $800/mo - and still pays extra for two-way texting, route optimization, and property measurement. We include all of that.

When something breaks, you text a person. Not a queue.
Every Shortcut customer gets a direct line to the team that built this - including me. We answer same-day, every day. If you've spent a week waiting for a ticket, you already know why this matters.
- Chance, founder
And yes - we'll handle the move for you.
Switching software shouldn't take six months and a consultant. If you're coming from another tool, we offer white glove import of your customers, rebuild your schedules, and set up your services. You run both systems in parallel until you're ready to flip. No additional fee.
Discovery call (20 min).
You tell us how your business runs. We handle the setup. No homework.
We rebuild your setup in Shortcut.
Customers, recurring schedules, services, pricing, crews. We'll even infer your recurring schedule patterns from your job history - you just review and approve.
Shadow period, then flip.
Run both systems side-by-side for up to two weeks. On a Monday of your choosing, we're on the phone with you for the first 8 hours.
No six-month implementation. No consulting fees. No ticket queues.
Most lawn care software sucks. You've put up with it long enough.
